What is the 2000 Guineas? 

The 2000 Guineas is a Group 1 Flat race run at Newmarket and is a huge event for three-year-old colts.

The race was first run in 1809, and was created five years before the fillies' equivalent, the 1000 Guineas, with the names equating to the prize fund (a guinea amounted to £1.05). The race quickly grew in stature, and is now served by several trial races, including the Craven Stakes at Newmarket and the Greenham Stakes at Newbury - while the 2000 Guineas itself is a recognised trial for the Epsom Derby. The last colt to win both the 2000 Guineas and the Derby in the same season was the Aidan O'Brien-trained Camelot in 2012. 

What happened in the 2020 renewal of the 2000 Guineas? 

Andrew Balding's Kameko was an impressive winner of the 2000 Guineas, as the Oisin Murphy-ridden 10/1 shot unleashed a late surge to claim victory in the Newmarket Classic. With hot favourite Pinatubo unable to continue his dominance, and was forced to settle for the minor honours, it was Kameko that came on to the scene in the closing stages and beat the Aidan O'Brien-trained Wichita, with Pinatubo finishing third.
